The Crayon Initiative
Bring your old crayons to any local BCL library branch. At the end of the summer we will donate the crayons and they will be turned into brand new crayons for kids in the hospital via The Crayon Initiative​.

Make a Tiny Masterpiece
Beginning June 1, stop by your local branch and pick up a 4"x4" canvas and easel to create your own tiny art. Bring it back to the branch when you are finished and it will be included in art exhibits throughout BCL locations. (​While supplies last.)

Register for a summer learning challenge and then go to a local BCL location to pick up a free book. ​​​​
